At night.
Menchi and Buhara showed off their exquisite cooking skills, meticulously preparing a lavish feast for everyone.It must be said, the flavor of this feast was absolutely superb.Especially for people like Light and Kurapika, who had never tasted the craftsmanship of a Gourmet Hunter before, the ultimate deliciousness surged into their minds like a turbulent tide.While eating, both were somewhat dazed, indulging without restraint, continuously mumbling, "Delicious! Delicious!"Biscuit and Cheadle were clearly people who had tasted Gourmet Hunter cuisine before, and were mentally prepared for it, so they ate with elegant composure.After the feast ended.Kevin returned to his room, sat at his desk, and fell into contemplation.The daytime conversation with Biscuit was still vivid in his mind, and numerous ideas kept emerging.He had to properly plan this "industry" of his.While thinking, he wrote down the words 『Member』 『Supplier』 on the paper.That's right, he thought of the 『Member』 system.For a shop like his that primarily sells high-quality goods, such a system was undoubtedly the most suitable and perfect.As for customers who were not 『Member』s, he would not refuse to sell potions, but he would set extremely strict restrictions.The simplest would be a very small quantity of potions sold, and they must be Nen Users anyway.Thinking this way, a good set of rules and regulations gradually took shape in his mind.First, the target customers of the shop were clearly Nen Users and Hunters.As for politicians and wealthy businessmen, Kevin planned to hand over the business related to them to Light.Politicians and wealthy businessmen were, of course, also considered network resources.Kevin could completely transfer these connections to Light, because maintaining this type of network required effort.Things like sending gifts at banquets, treating people to meals, and exchanging interests were all ways these wealthy and noble individuals maintained their connections.Although Kevin was currently involved in a bit of business, he didn't want to put all his energy into this aspect, so it was better to hand these ordinary businessmen over to someone else.These people were different from Hunters and Nen Users, and the way of dealing with them was also different.And there was a close cooperative relationship between him and Light, almost inextricably linked.The network resources of both parties could be mutually utilized, and dealing with and maintaining relationships with these non-Nen Users,Light was more skilled at.He would even feel delighted to have such work handed over to him.Only by performing their respective duties could the two obtain what they wanted.Kevin believed that for Red Stone Pharmaceuticalss, this would definitely be a good choice.Therefore, Kevin planned to hand over a batch of potions he refined to Light at that time, letting him operate it.As for what kind of potions were most suitable for these wealthy and noble people, that would be up to Light to choose.For a close partner, Kevin would give him this kind of authority.And his own shop would adopt a Member system. Ordinary Nen User customers would be registered, and would only be allowed to purchase one potion per quarter, half a year, or one year.Members would be divided into different tiers, each tier specifying the quantity of potions that could be purchased.Kevin even planned to specially provide some potions with complex and difficult production processes to high-level Members.The production of this type of potion was limited, and the time spent making them was also high, so the quantity supplied to customers would naturally not be large.Therefore, setting up different tiers of Members seemed very necessary.For some high-end Members worth befriending, customized services could even be provided.For example, Biscuit, Cheadle, and Ging, Kevin naturally prepared to directly give them the highest tier Member treatment.Next is the 『Supplier』, which is the core part Kevin needs to focus on.This group is directly related to Kevin's channels for obtaining materials, and is the foundation for him to open a shop and sell potions.『Supplier』s must be personally sought out and determined by Kevin; there is no room for carelessness.The benefits and treatment given to 『Supplier』s must be generous; merely providing internal discounts is far from enough.He planned to specially design a Member card for 『Supplier』s.The materials provided by these partners would be converted into 『Currency』.This 『Currency』 could be exchanged for money or for potions at a lower price.Kevin even planned to specially formulate several highly practical potions, stipulating that they could only be purchased with 『Currency』.This privilege must be higher than the ordinary Member system; even the highest-tier Members must use 『Currency』 to purchase this type of potion.As for how to obtain 『Currency』, these Members would have to figure it out themselves.Trading with 『Supplier』s, or them providing some expensive and special 『Materials』 themselves, could all earn them 『Currency』.Thus, it seems 『Supplier』s will become stable sources of materials.『Member』s, on the other hand, are connections, wealth, and occasional material providers.Or simply the potential candidates who highlight the 『Supplier』s.The entire system revolves around materials and potions, operating interdependently.Currently, the overall framework is basically fine; the next step is to handle some details and then fully flesh out the framework.The most crucial thing is the potions themselves.To gain recognition for this system of his, he must provide potions that are convincing enough.Higher-level, more useful potions belong to the category of things one would want to possess once they know about them.Speaking of which, the busyness during this period left him with little time to make new potions, and some ideas in his mind hadn't been put into practice yet.Coincidentally, Cheadle, a Three-Star Hunter with medical expertise, was here.By exchanging and learning with her, or even collaborating, he might be able to produce more perfect potions.With Biscuit providing a credit guarantee, Kevin was quite trusting of this Three-Star Hunter.One of the Hunter Association's administrators, and also his Master's friend.The next morning.After everyone finished breakfast, they each got busy.Kevin and Cheadle took Pairo to the medical room within the manor."Now, let me tell you about the operating mechanism of my Nen Ability. Don't interrupt me yet.""I have basic trust in you, whether it's because you are Biscuit's friend or given your status and position, I believe you won't spread information about my Nen Ability everywhere.""Furthermore, there's nothing particularly confidential about my Nen Ability. The more you interact with me, the easier it is to analyze and discover."Kevin said straightforwardly.Cheadle originally wanted to interrupt, but hearing this, she nodded to show agreement.Since the other party said it like that, there was no need to be coy.Afterwards, Kevin roughly explained the usage methods and operational process of his Nen Ability.As expected, after listening, Cheadle's eyes sparkled with excitement: "A very interesting Nen Ability,""It's truly very interesting!"Clearly, Cheadle was highly interested in Kevin's Nen Ability, just as Biscuit had said before."May I ask, based on your own estimation, what level can your Nen Ability reach?"Cheadle wanted a more precise range so that she could better formulate his treatment plan."Let me put it this way, based on my own feeling, if I have sufficiently perfect materials and ample Nen, I believe I might even be able to create potions that can bring the dead back to life or reverse aging."The words Kevin spoke sounded a bit exaggerated, but he genuinely felt in his heart that his Nen Ability had this possibility.However, how much Nen is needed to achieve this, and what kind of materials are required, is currently unclear.After all, this is just the upper limit, so naturally he would speak highly of it; it's not entirely impossible to achieve, just that the conditions for realization are relatively harsh."Give me twenty years to train diligently, and provide enough materials, and I can definitely do it." Kevin thought to himself.As a Three-Star Hunter, Cheadle was knowledgeable and experienced; regarding Kevin's words, she simply nodded and did not show surprise.Such a Nen Ability was not unheard of, it's just that the conditions for realization were extremely harsh.Just as Kevin said, this was just the upper limit of his Nen Ability, and the upper limit is not easily reached."If that's the case, then this treatment will be easy.""I will give you a list of materials. You procure everything according to the contents on it. These materials may all help you produce potions to treat the patient.""If that doesn't work, we can still fine-tune your Nen Ability slowly, which should achieve the treatment goal."Kevin nodded, indicating that it was not a problem.The type, quantity, and processing method of the materials all affect the efficacy of the medicine, which has always been the most time-consuming part for him when making medicine.Subsequently, the two engaged in in-depth communication and discussion regarding Pairo's condition.It must be said that both of them possessed medical knowledge and were academic-level individuals.Although Kevin's knowledge reserve was not as extensive as Cheadle's, he could keep up with her line of thought, so there were no obstacles in their communication.Kevin could be said to be learning with great eagerness.Then, he purchased materials through Light, but he used Cheadle's channels.This allowed the materials to be delivered quickly by air, ensuring excellent quality and affordable prices—all of them were top-notch."If you don't mind, could I see how your Nen Ability works with my own eyes? Especially the process of making the medicine."When Cheadle made this request, she was particularly cautious, knowing that her idea might be a bit presumptuous.But she was truly too curious about Kevin's Nen Ability, and a deep understanding would be beneficial for the subsequent treatment work.This was no joke.Kevin pondered for a moment, then nodded.Anyway, he also wanted to leverage Cheadle's knowledge and ability to assist him in making new medicines.Soon, Cheadle brought Biscuit over, because she felt that compared to herself, Kevin trusted Biscuit more.Having Biscuit stand beside them was a statement.After understanding the situation, Biscuit nodded and said, "Alright then, I haven't seen it either, so I'll take this opportunity to witness it."In front of the two, Kevin materialized his pharmaceutical workbench.Biscuit had already seen it and felt no novelty, while Cheadle looked around with great interest, even reaching out to touch it lightly.Kevin found that on the surface, Cheadle was a serious and wise strong woman, which was indeed true.But once she encountered something she was interested in, she would display a side that was inconsistent with her personality.Kevin placed the materials he had already prepared on the scale pan."You process each material differently, does this affect the medicinal effect?" Cheadle asked curiously.Kevin nodded and briefly explained, "The freshness of the material, whether it is dried, ground into powder, and other different forms, will all have an impact on the effect of the medicine."Cheadle nodded slightly. It seemed that Kevin's Nen Ability followed a certain scientific logic.It was not pure fantasy, but based on reality, which indeed allowed the medicine to exert a better effect.As the production process unfolded, the two quickly understood the limitations of this Nen Ability.Undoubtedly, during the process of making medicine, Kevin was in his most vulnerable state.At this time, if he were caught, Kevin would not even have the strength to fight back, which was very, very dangerous.After the medicine was finished, Kevin pulled out the medicine tube filled with liquid from below and handed it to Cheadle for her to study on her own.Biscuit looked at Kevin with a serious expression and said, "When making medicine, it's best not to have a fixed time pattern, try to be as spontaneous as possible.""If necessary, the location for making medicine is best chosen in a safe and uninhabited area. Of course, if there are trustworthy and sufficiently capable people, it is better to have them protect you."The state of using Nen Ability is the most dangerous moment for every Nen User.At that time, they are almost no different from ordinary people, and may even be more vulnerable than ordinary people.Kevin nodded, indicating that he understood this point.Since Cheadle was very interested in his Nen Ability, the two quickly got together and started communicating.Their conversation revolved around medical information, which made Biscuit dizzy. She simply opened a magazine and sat aside, ignoring them.Just as the materials had not yet arrived, and Cheadle was very interested in Kevin's Nen Ability, Kevin simply took her to study new medicines together.Recently, Kevin had stockpiled a large amount of materials, many of which were fresh, and he had not had time to fully understand the properties of these materials.However, through the descriptions of Menchi and others, he had made notes on each material.There is a certain connection between the material and its source entity. This subtle connection can be used when making medicine.Find suitable materials to match, so as to achieve the desired effect.The communication between the two became increasingly enthusiastic."This is the lungs of a bird that can dive underwater for a long time. This bird is called—""According to your idea, if it is used as the main material, can the effect of the medicine allow people to breathe freely in the water?""Indeed, but it also requires the combination of appropriate auxiliary materials and fusion agents.""Then you can use bubble algae, which is a special plant. Its effect can—"The two of them talked back and forth, discussing heatedly.Kevin was well-versed in various biological information, familiar with the special habits and abilities of various organisms.And Cheadle was very proficient in various herbs and their medicinal properties. Even some obscure and special herbs, she knew them like the back of her hand.She could even casually mention the extraction and condensation methods of different herbs, as well as the different medicines made from them.In this regard, she far surpassed Kevin. Kevin humbly learned while collaborating and communicating with her.Some medicines that were originally just rough ideas quickly became possible with Cheadle's help.The most tedious part of material processing was also quickly completed with Cheadle's assistance.Compared to Kevin's previous clumsy method of experimenting one by one, Cheadle, who understood medicinal properties better, could always accurately point out how to process materials to achieve the desired effect.Soon, a new medicine was born.『Diving Potion』: Consumes very little Nen. The user can breathe freely underwater and enhance swimming speed and flexibility in the water.For the other several medicines, Kevin also had good ideas and thoughts. As long as he was given some more time,He should be able to make them."Your medicine has two ways of use, external application and internal administration. Have you considered other ways of use?"Cheadle suddenly asked."Other ways of use?" Kevin was a little confused.Cheadle nodded and said, "For example, injection. Many medicines are used by injection, which enhances the medicinal effect and makes it work faster."These words seemed to open a door to a new world for Kevin, but after a brief thought, he shook his head."No, although this is a product of Nen Ability, directly injecting the medicine into the body is probably not feasible."This was his intuition based on his understanding of his own Nen Ability.Cheadle nodded with some regret: "Is that so? That's a bit of a pity."However, the method she proposed gave Kevin a new idea.Although the medicine cannot be injected directly, this is Nen Ability. There are still many unique abilities in the world.Now that the resentment has been removed from "A Moment's Dream", it has completely become his Nen Ability.He could feel himself gradually integrating with this Nen Ability, just like "Blank Meteor", it would change with his growth.The two seemed to grow together.Inspired by Cheadle just now, he thought of a method.Injection.That's right, his Specialization System Nen Ability leans towards the Conjuration System.This is knowledge learned from Biscuit. The classification of Nen Abilities is not absolutely fixed, and it may shift in a certain direction.For example, he is essentially a Strengthening System, but in reality, he slightly leans towards the Emission System.And his Specialization System leans towards the Conjuration System.After all, his pharmaceutical workbench was materialized.So, he could try to materialize a 『Syringe』.Injecting the medicine into the body through a syringe to achieve a better medicinal effect and a longer duration.For others, this might just be a simple idea, but for Kevin, this was a big step.Because compared to oral administration, injection is more easily absorbed and remembered by the body.For him, this is undoubtedly a very good improvement.This idea is completely feasible.
